Electrodiagnostic evaluation of the uninjured rabbit inferior alveolar nerve.
This investigation describes the electrophysiology of the uninjured rabbit inferior alveolar nerve. There were no differences in the measured waveform parameters between animals nor between the two sides of each animal. The model is reliable and could be applied to basic studies of inferior alveolar nerve regeneration and the effects of pharmacologic or surgical intervention.
